PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE

By Syahruzzaky

Introduction 

In today’s post, we are discussing past continuous tense. Likewise present continuous it talks about action that is on progress, but happened in the past. To understand this tense you had better have the preliminary information about simple past and present continuous.

Activities in teaching Past Tenses

I teach English in the tenth grade of senior high school in Indonesia. Two of the materials in the second semester are about recount and narrative texts. To make the students able to compose an essay on these texts, I teach them past tenses as a prerequisite material.

Last meeting, I had taught them the theories of four past tenses in English (simple past, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous). Now is the turn to have some practices.

To make the learning managable, I have constructed a students’ worksheet that is expected to make the students fun in learning grammar.
